Here's How to Play
The player gently removes the scratch-off material from each square on the CALL LETTERS play area to reveal a letter. For each letter in a square revealed in the CALL LETTERS play area, the player gently removes the scratch-off material from the same letter each time it is found in the CROSSWORD PUZZLE. When the player reveals three (3) or more complete words in the CROSSWORD PUZZLE, they win a prize according to the prize legend on the front of the ticket.
